Hi everyone,
I have started taking paxil about 2 weeks ago, It has made me feel quite a bit better so far however I still have lingering anxiety and really quick waves of panic...but not like before they come an go really fast. Last night however I woke up at 5am and felt like I was fighting a full blown attack. I was sweating and thought I am going to lose it any second. I fought it and fought it but it felt like I was fighting against myself. Part of me felt like, "okay, you know your having an attack just let it happen and get it over with" and part of me was like "No, I am not going to let this happen now, after I have been feeling so good". I spent about 5 minutes on the verge, trying to control my breathing and fighting the urge to get up and run. Then it finally passed without getting to a peak, though I still had some twitching and spaciness after before I fell asleep again.
Has anyone had reoccouring attacks when they thought they were doing well on meds? I really want this drug to work and it has been but now I am thinking I might have to up my dose (I am currently on 10mgs) and I didn't want to do that because of more side effects. I already have some nausea and strange dreams and seem to bruise much easier? weird. But its worth it to feel somewhat normal again. Anyone have any advice on what I should do?
